I feel for you, you little horror

Safe at your mother's breast

No lucky break for you around the corner

'Cos your father is a bully

And he thinks that you're a pest

And your sister, she's no better than a whore



Life seems so rosy in the cradle

but I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow

There's nothing to grow up for anymore



Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you

And throw you on the side

And all because they love themselves sincerely

And the man holds a bread-knife

Up to your throat, is four feet wide

And he's anxious just to show you what it's for



Your mother works so hard to make you happy

But take a look outside the nursery door

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow

There's nothing to grow up for anymore



All the sad and empty faces

That pass you on the street

All running in their sleep, all in a dream

Every loving handshake

Is just another man to beat

How your heart aches just to cut him to the core



Life seems so rosy in the cradle

but I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow

There's nothing to grow up for anymore
